It’s my blogiversary y’all! One whole year of blogging. Man. It feels good to have committed to something and have stuck with it for this long! I never really imagined myself being where I am today (self-employed) when I started my blog this time last year. My blog has turned into an avenue for me to not only talk about my life but my journey into self-employment and has even served as a platform for me to provide value to potential social media and consulting clients.…
You guys… I got Botox!! Actually….I got Dysport (pronounced dis-sport), a similar “sister” to Botox that metabolizes a little differently and is commonly used in younger women to relax facial muscles. And before you guys get all freaky deaky judgy on me, here’s some background for you… It’s Preventative I turn 25 this year (actually in about a month, ah!) and at the beginning of the year I made it a resolution to do something to take better care of my skin as it ages. Yikes.…
I feel like I have been freelancing full-time forever now, but this is only my third month’s recap!! Seriously where does the time go. In January I continued to get a bit more comfortable with my freelancing lifestyle, took my first vacation (!!), and learned I definitely can’t handle on-boarding more than 2 new clients at once. I think my vacation (5 days in Mexico with limited wifi) really solidified the whole “I can do this!” in my mind. I was able to plan ahead, train…
Hi friends! I’ve been searching the internet these last few months for some affordable tools to make my life as a content creator a little bit easier. I’m at the point in my career where I’m willing to do some trial & error before I find what I really love and am happy to share with you guys some of the tools I’ve found – all various forms of iPhone accessories – that are all under $25 (and most are available with Amazon Prime too). The…
Hey guys! I know it’s only February but I wanted to put an easy way for you guys to learn how to apply for my summer social media internship! It has been such a pleasure working with my interns for the last 2 months and I’m ready to hit the ground running for the next group! Things to note: the internship is unpaid and must be based out of Scottsdale, AZ. More than likely, you’ll be required through your school to receive school credit for the…
Hey guys! Happy February. If there was ONE thing that I got asked about this past month, it was how I created the “covers” on my Instagram story highlights! I my highlight covers last month in like less than 5 minutes at 2am lol and so I’ve finally thrown together a quick *video* tutorial (it’s my first ever YouTube video, so pls subscribe)! I used a website (it also has an app, but it’s not as easy to use) called canva.com where you guys can also make…
So I’ve been studying & managing social media for 7 years this year! I know it’s a “young” industry but it makes me feel old lol. One of the things I have gotten pretty good at over the years is staying up to date with social media news. There are so many changes to social media algorithms that are so hard to keep track of, and every algorithm change means that social media strategy has to change too. It can be frustrating, but I have a…
December was a crazy month. With the holidays and a bunch of new clients from November to handle content for, I was pretty slammed with my freelance work. I also was interviewing and hiring my first batch of interns (!!), and they didn’t start until the end of the month – so basically I worked a lot in December on client work and NOT a lot on MY freelance business. I will say that I have gotten a lot of clarity about my business after the…
//get the book in the pic here // Happy New Year!!! I literally love the month of January because it means a fresh start…and because historically it has ALWAYS been the month where I spend the least ? I’m not sure if it’s because my money-saving resolution is top-of-mind or because I got a lot of things for Christmas that I’d normally have to pay for myself… but I ain’t complaining. I know one of the most popular resolutions is to save more money or make more money.…
Happy New Year y’all!! I’m the kind of person who lovessss thinking of great New Year’s Resolutions, but I’m the worst at sticking to them. One of my resolutions for 2018 is to get a better handle on SKIN CARE and the skin care products I use. I’ll be turning 25 this year (!!) which I’m so excited about, but I know it also means I’m going to need to start taking better care of my skin. I wanted to share with you guys my skin…
